Customers say: True professional

"I recently purchased a commercial building, and the back lot had a massive pile of dirt/concrete/clay due to a billboard being installed over a year ago. The dirt pile was unmanageable with shovels, so we needed professional help. BJ was able to manage the humongous pile, by hauling about 75% away, and grading the lot with the rest. We're now left with a nice, level, space to regrow. He additionally cut an approach through the rear gate so that the fence would swing all the way open, and cut an approach for a garage door that will soon be installed on the side of the building. He's professional, fast, and easy to work with. Would absolutely recommend his services"

"I had a ton of junk that I needed removed from the property from a previous tenant. I mean furniture, carpet, pad, just a mess of debris etc. They scheduled a time, showed up on time, extremely professional and removed everything I asked of them. So happy to have everything gone. The city wouldn’t take it. I was at a loss with no idea how to get rid of everything."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.
